Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 14 Mobilization, Her Grandmother's House

In the pure black night, the full moon is bright and clear, gauze-like clouds are slowly floating in, and a few soft rays of moonlight jump in through the old-fashioned windows, and the narrow windowsill seems to be coated with a layer of silver.

He Xi in the house was still completing her daily tasks. The hot sweat on her forehead reminded her of the fact that she was still alive.

Lu Jinan over there was also staring at the window in a daze, his eyelids lowered, with frustration and even hatred in his eyes.

As time passed, Lu Jinan's heart had calmed down temporarily, but he needed a long time to forget the pain of his past life.

Lu Jinan turned around and leaned against the windowsill, just in time to meet Lu Yunshen's eyes. He knew he couldn't avoid it, and he didn't intend to tell everything. The two brothers stood there in silence.

Lu Yunshen knew that his third brother had his own secrets, and behind every secret there might be infinite sadness. Since he didn't want to tell it, he just let him.

The next morning, when He Xi got up and went for a run, he happened to run into Lu Jinan. He was standing in front of the door in a daze with a blank look in his eyes.

Although it is not autumn in the full sense yet, the temperature in the morning and evening has started to be low, and I always feel cool.

He Xi began to warm up, pretending not to notice his expression: "Why are you thinking about your Tao Xing?"

To Lu Jinan, her voice sounded faint and a little jealous.

He asked knowingly, "Do you care so much?"

He Xi glanced at him coldly and didn't answer.

After warming up, He Xi walked out of the yard and started running. After a distance, she found Lu Jinan following her, and finally the two of them ran five kilometers together.

Since they suggested working for He Xi's family to earn work points, He Xi decided to be lazy and go to his grandmother's house to report that he was safe after his illness.

In the end, the mother and her two daughters went together. Before leaving, He Xi told her father about her greenhouse plan and hoped that he could help prepare the wooden stakes and beams. Her father's eyes were full of stars, and life was getting better and better, so he readily agreed.

He Xi planned to go ahead as he had some small business matters to take care of, but was stopped by Lu Jinan.

"Take the money." Lu Jinan suddenly said, "Buy some delicious food for grandma and the others, and buy yourself a pair of shoes."

He Xi did not take the money he handed over. Twenty yuan was enough to buy food and ten yuan was enough to buy a pair of Warrior shoes, but she felt that she had money and there was no need to use the other party's money to please his family.

Lu Jinan frowned, his voice a little serious: "Don't want to take it? I said..."

He Xi interrupted him: "Yes, the money of men in your family is born to be spent on their women, but I am not."

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "I didn't think it through. Let's get engaged after the autumn harvest..."

"Stop." He Xi felt a little embarrassed by what he said, "Who said I want to get engaged to you?"

"So you were just being a hooligan before." Lu Jinan chuckled, "Those who say you're a good brother are all liars."

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and the more he spoke, the more mean he felt, as if He Xi had really done something to let him down.

Everyone in the yard stopped what they were doing and listened carefully to the dark history of the scumbag He Xi.

He Xi looked at Lu Jinan in shock and had to admit that he had a sinister side.

Finally, Lu Jinan raised his chin slightly, with the aura of a domineering president: "Here, the weather is getting cold, you should buy a pair of leather shoes."

Looking at the fifty yuan he handed over, He Xi still wanted to pry open his head to see what was going on inside.

He Xi curled her lips: "Okay, is this what the boss likes?"

She didn't think he was overbearing, he thought her handmade cloth shoes were ugly.

The two bicycles in the family were out again. The villagers were always discussing the behavior of He Xi's family. They worked little but always went out. The two educated youth who came to the countryside had a wealthy family.

He Xi went to the town alone to buy some things. She had agreed to sell another batch of food today, so she had to get to the rental house in advance to prepare.

Wang Qiang gradually understood He Xi's character, and he no longer asked about the source of the grain. After all, no village dared to sell grain in this way. He didn't care who the grain belonged to, he only cared whether it could be exchanged for money.

He Xi still planted wheat and rice on the ten acres of land. He had said before that for every 300 yuan he earned, he would unlock a new function. The money from selling grain last time just unlocked three of them, one was the market inquiry function, one was the ecological simulation system, and the other was the processing function.

He Xi no longer has to beg for favors from the system for his white flour and refined rice. Now that they are processed on their own, he no longer has to run around to exchange them.

This time when he met Wang Qiang, he was quite proud and said that it was all thanks to He Xi who sold him food and she was their breadwinner.

The transaction volume was 2,400 kilograms of white flour for 600 yuan, 3,000 kilograms of refined rice for 600 yuan, and 1,200 yuan was rewarded to He Xi as a sewing ticket after the system's appraisal. Together with a bicycle ticket given for signing in today and the previous grain money, it was equivalent to a huge sum of 2,400 yuan.

When the mother and her two daughters met again, He Xi had already prepared enough gifts.

He's mother took her two daughters to the Du family's yard and saw two old men sitting under the pavilion in the courtyard.

They should be He Xi's grandparents. They have a dignified temperament and their faces show deep traces of time.

The old couple were a little surprised. Now is the busy farming season, and they can see their little daughter and two granddaughters at this time.

"Come, sit down, we have more things to buy." Grandpa Du asked the mother and her two daughters to sit down and talk.

"Dad, these are the things Xiaoxi bought to honor our parents."

Grandma Tian was shocked, and her words were full of concern: "Did your mom or dad sell you out? I'll beat these two conscienceless people to death."

He Xi didn't react for a moment, and his grandparents had already started looking for a suitable weapon to hit people, but He Fei was quick to stop them and explained.

The main things I bring when visiting relatives are relatively simple: white sugar, vermicelli, peach cakes, old-fashioned cakes, oatmeal essence, etc.

The two elders had smiles on their faces. It seemed that the other party was nice to He Xi, otherwise he wouldn't let her spend so much money.

A group of people had lunch together. The old couple lived alone and didn't want to cause trouble for their children. Their son and daughter-in-law didn't live far away, so there was little work to do, and they lived a transparent life, and the family atmosphere was harmonious.

The person they asked the most at the dinner table was Lu Jinan. They asked what he looked like, whether he was good to He Xi, and what his family's attitude was. In short, they were worried about all kinds of things, fearing that he would bully He Xi.

after lunch.

Grandpa Du was sitting on a wooden stool smoking a pipe. His brows were furrowed with deep wrinkles on them.

"Is it reliable?"

"At present, I only have theoretical knowledge and no practice, but I have found a sales channel."

Tang Lai Di He Xi's aunt looked at other people's reactions and was not sure of her own thoughts, but her urgent desire to become rich overcame her inner fear.

"Okay, I'll work with you. I've had enough of this hard life."

He Xi nodded and took out twenty yuan: "The start-up capital is mine. I don't want you to pay me back whether I make a profit or a loss. You just need to agree to sell the vegetables at the market price and keep order."

"I know the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. We have already discussed the plan. We will first look at the initial supply volume and quality to determine the price. We will definitely not lose money."

Seeing that He Xi had taken the capital and reached an agreement with the supply and marketing cooperative, they looked at He Xi with apology in their eyes, blaming themselves for not trusting her. Now that they saw the money, how could they have the nerve to say that they also wanted to participate.

Everyone turns their hopes to He's mother. It's up to you.

Mother He took a quick glance and knew that this difficult problem was thrown to her again.

He Xi and Tang Lai Di on the side began to discuss some details in detail. Tang Lai Di couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Thinking that she was about to become a rich man, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Tang Lai Di nodded, and then said: "Do you need enough straw? That's easy. We use it for burning in the village. I will try to keep it."

The straw needs to be woven into straw mats to serve as insulation for the outside of the greenhouse. A small stove needs to be placed inside to maintain the internal temperature, as well as the most serious problem of snow accumulation in winter. This is a snowy town, and this is a problem that must be taken into consideration.

There was a lot of information recorded in Tang Lai Di's little notebook. He Xi was surprised to find that the other party was an educated person, which made the promotion of technology much easier.

The others craned their necks to listen to the class, and when He Xi noticed them, they looked innocent. He Xi lowered his voice and continued teaching, while Tang Laidie covered her notes.

They were not angry, they just wanted to tease each other. Those who did not participate looked at the two elders, Du Rong, and He Fei in confusion.

Suddenly, He Xi and Tang Lai Di couldn't hold back their laughter and said, "Okay, just ask your aunt for the details. I'll pay for it."

Du Gang and He Xi's second uncle finally raised his head, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was as fierce as a wolf: "Don't bully my second uncle like this anymore, I thought you didn't care about me anymore."

He Xi growled, "Isn't this embarrassing? Why are you crying?"

Du Gang's words made everyone present laugh: "They say crying children get milk."

"what?"

Grandma Tian pointed at her second son's head, not knowing what to say. In the end, she said, "I don't know what to say to you. You are still young? Do you want candy if you cry?"

Grandpa Du stroked his wife's back and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be angry, your silly son belongs to someone else."

Hearing this, everyone looked over in surprise, but could not refute it.

The Du family has finalized the construction of two greenhouses and the work is progressing well.

The temperature was low in the evening when we returned. The three of us rode shiveringly without any coats, and we got colder and colder as we rode.

Seeing the three people in the cold wind, Lu Jinan asked calmly, "Is it cold?"

He Xi shook her head slowly, her eyes full of stubbornness: "It's not cold, how could it be cold?" Her teeth chattered as she spoke.

Hou Ran He Xi still reluctantly took the coat handed to her by Lu Jinan.
